What I'm looking for is a writer to help me with a project. It's an adventure story with some slight elements of romance and a female protagonist. It will be a visual novel, though I'd like to keep the options to a minimum. You would be the only writer on the story, though I will be available to assist. The story would be more focused on their adventures across the land instead of romance focused.
Plot: Yuma, a dragon rune mage and descendent of a "the great hero", accidentally unseals an ancient evil mage who is foretold to bring about another age of darkness. However, Yuma's act has unsealed him several centuries before his return, angering him and ruining his carefully laid plan. A stickler for having things just right, he demands that the rookie mage reseal him and wait for the time the prophecy dictates. The pair go on an adventure across a land torn by war between humans and elves to gather the runes required to seal him away again before he decides that now is a fine time to start his reign of evil.
Right now I have three characters designed, though I will add a couple more based upon writer suggestion. I would like to work the outline together, though I can provide a detailed outline if preferred. Once we have the outline setup, I'll be getting the art and music assets together.
Characters (so far; just designs):
Yuma, the young dragon rune mage who has to find a way to reseal the evil.
Budget: $750; 25% upfront, 25% 30k mark, 50% completion
Length: 50,000 to 60,000 words; I'd like to keep it in the 3-4 hr mark.
Deadline: I'd like to have everything done by August.
The game will be commercial.
Please include writing samples. Experience in visual novel writing is preferred, though providing samples of prose writing is fine.
